I bought new levers and new cables for the SB. I got the levers installed and started routing the cable. I didn't like the random routing of the cables so I made some retainers for them. I had some 1/16th stainless welding rod and bent it into a figure 8 and welded the ends together. One end is slightly smaller than the other. The bigger end goes on the handlebar bolt and the small end is twisted 90 degrees and the cable runs through it. So far so good. I made 3 of these, 2 short and 1 long. I cant get the longer one to load onto OldMiniBikes but I got the 2 shorter ones loaded. I think it looks a lot better than random routing like it was.
Levers.
Cable retainers.
At least its progress. I was looking for levers with adjusters but when I looked at them I didn't like the adjuster being so visible. I am making an adjuster for the front wheel brake. I don't think I will need one on the rear brake. These levers have so much travel that I probably don't even need one on the front either.
